It was with great sadness that I received the news of Rick Sharp’s passing. (Sharp was a music reviewer for The Alabama Baptist, see story in July 30 issue). Although I did not have a long-term acquaintance with Rick, I was blessed to be able to speak with him in January 2014 when I recorded an independent project for my worship evangelism ministry. In a time when mainstream music releases are the focus of the music review industry, it was a refreshing blessing when Rick eagerly agreed to review my unknown project for The Alabama Baptist.
While I greatly appreciated the kind words that Rick wrote within his review for The Alabama Baptist in January 2014, I was more thankful for and forever touched by the heartfelt encouragement that he expressed to me and my ministry. Although I did not know him very well, I quickly discerned that Rick was a true man of God through his witness and his Christ-like love, kindness and encouragement. Rick Sharp was a blessing to me and he will be greatly missed.
